Why is this an issue?

It is needlessly complex to invert the result of a boolean comparison. The opposite comparison should be made instead.

Noncompliant code example


if ( !(a == 2)) { ...}  // Noncompliant
bool b = !(i < 10);  // Noncompliant

Compliant solution


if (a != 2) { ...}
bool b = (i >= 10);
